delineation
Elizabeth Wallace of Hayes Engineering addressed the Commission and
stated that a revised plan indicating the Conservation Commission's
request for additional wetland flags has been submitted. Ms.
Wallace explained the added flaggings and noted that specifically
~he revised lines consist of the M series of flags that connect
4ith the J series, and that the N series of flags indicate a small
stream. Ms. Wallace further stated that they added a P series of
flags that connect two wetlands (F & E) to the plan in response to
some members concerns, and in addition they added flags off the
paved driveway (C line) as far up as to the culvert.
Ms. Wallace stated that she supplied the Conservation Commission
with calculations regarding an area in question that has been
determined to be not "isolated land subject to flooding" and noted
that the area is under Army Corps. jurisdiction only.
Ms. Wallace stated that she would like to hear any comments that
the Conservation Commission may have regarding the site walk.
Chairman Lang asked the members if they had anything they would
like to add to the site visit.
Jon Mazuy asked if the plan in front of them tonight is now just
being submitted. Debbie Hurlburt stated that the plans had been
submitted on Friday prior to this evenings meeting.
Jon Mazuy stated that some members felt that after checking against
maps and walking the area, that the N series of flags should go
beyond the marked flagging. Ms. Wallace stated that they have
looked at the soils beyond the N series of flags, and explained
that the soils are not bright enough, and therefore do not support
that there are wetlands beyond that marked N series of flags.
Jon Mazuy further stated that on the back side of the property when
looking at the N series of flags, he saw a creature running up and
down a tree, which was later identified as a fisher, and noted that
there are many signs of deer, coyotes, etc., that will be displaced
with the construction of this development, and stated that the
Commission should take a stronger look at the wildlife habitat and
wildlife habitat aspects because this area will be changed
significantly.
Tony Paiuzzi stated that in the E & F section of the site he noted
that there is a lot of water and questioned why this area is not
marked on the plan as being connected. Ms. Wallace explained that
E & F are connected by the P series.
Chairman Lang stated that the maps given to the Commission on
Saturday show E & F as being connected.
Chairman Lang questioned the soil samples that were taken in the
area marked Flag NiS. Ms. Wallace explained that the determination
was made by taking soil samples above and below Flag 18, and that
HaYes: determined that the soils were not sufficiently gray enough
to be considered wetland soils.
Chairman Lang noted that the hydrology seems to be the same. Ms.
Wallace stated that she did agree that the hydrology seems to be
the same as a wetland and that there are wetland plants there, but
that the area also contains a lot of upland plants as well, and
that the determining factor would have to be the soils.
Chairman Lang stated that he has several concerns regarding a
stream along the Northwest border that flows along the hillside
which is shown on a USGS topographic map, and asked if it should be
flagged/mapped, and if the stream is considered to be under the
River:s Act. Ms. Wallace stated that she believes that the stream
is either on their property or 100' within their property and that
she thinks it is an intermittent stream and would have to check.
Chairman Lang stated that the Commission would like to request:
(1) if the information regarding the stream should be considered to
be included on the plan; (2) to check if it is covered under the
River~s Act; and (3) to evaluate further the wildlife habitat in
that area. Ms. Wallace stated that she has no comment regarding
the wildlife habitat, that this subject will have to be addressed
during the Notice of intent when they are proposing construction.
Tony Paiuzzi stated that he saw a large puddle on the Greenwood
Avenue side of the site, approximately 50 yards from the end of the
wetlands in that area, and questioned wheather or not it is a
vernal pool. Ms. Wallace stated that they looked at that area and
it was completely dry.
Chairman Lang stated that it could be due to the water table.
2
John Dick addressed the Commission and stated that it does
communicate with a larger wetland, but that it barley functions as
· a vernal pool, and that there is no more than 8" of water ever.
Jay Donnelly stated that it is the Commission's objective to define
the boundaries of the wetlands, and questioned whether or not the
Commission's consultant has had an opportunity to review the
revised plan. Mr. Dick stated that he has not yet seen the new
plan.
Jay Donnelly asked if the Commission should consider having Mr.
Dick review the revised plan. Chairman Lang stated that if you
want him to evaluate the revised plan you can have him do that.
Ms. Wallace addressed the Commission and stated that we've been at
this delineation process since November, and that her client is
looking to close this matter up. Ms. Wallace stated that she would
like to see this matter resolved by the next meeting.
Jon Mazuy stated he feels that the environmental issues surrounding
wildlife habitat have been overlooked, and that he is concerned
that if the contractors were to commence construction of the
roadway prior to a determination, what effects it will have on the
wildlife.
Chairman Lang stated that the subject of wildlife habitat will be
discussed during the Notice of Intent, and at that time the
Commission can evaluate in detail the effects construction will
have on wildlife habitat, and that before the next meeting the
Commission can determine where they want to go with that aspect.
Chairman Lang read a letter from Richard Baker, 643 Hale Street.
(On File)
Chairman Lang asked if any members of the public wished to speak.
Rene Mary of 274 Hale Street stated that she was on the site walk,
and that some of the flags seem to be old and no longer apply, and
asked if they could be removed because it becomes very confusing.
Chairman Lang stated that he also noted that there were flags that
may not be valid any more.
Ms. Stella-Mae Stevens of 840 Hale Street stated that she too went
on the site walk, and that she felt quite disconcerned that all the
maps were not consistent, and that she felt that everyone was
trying to match maps, because they didn't corresponded to anything.
Ms. Stevens further stated that she thought that a site walk was
more informative, and that she and other members of the public
walked the site further and were stunned by the wildlife, had a
question whether or not there is a vernal pool in that area, and
stated that the Commission needs to find out more facts with
3
respect to vernal pools in that area, the wildlife habitat, and the
wetlands. Ms. Stevens also asked if the Commission could display
the map so that the public can see what the Commission is talking
about. Chairman Lang stated that the Commission members were all
given maps that matched, that the map showing the subdivision has
been submitted to the Planning Board, and that the Conservation
Commission is faced with looking at the wetland lines. Chairman
Lang explained that there is a map up on the table that you or any
member of the public can look at after the meeting or take it to
another room after this discussion.
Ms. Wallace commented that the public does need to have permission
to be on that property.
Linda Baker 643 Hale Street asked if there is a way to stop the
meeting so that the members of the public could look at the visual
layout of the delineation map in order for the public to ask
educated questions. Chairman Lang explained that the Commission is
going to continue this hearing, and that if any members of the
public wish to view the map they could do so later on or make other
arrangements.
John Murray of Ward 6 addressed the Commission and stated that it
is imperative that the Conservation Commission share with the
Planning Board the map with an overlay that clearly shows the
wetlands, so that they can very easily determine where there are
real problems. Chairman Lang stated that they will have them in
the Planning Department.
Don Brusca of 11 Greenwood Avenue stated that the fishers have been
there for years, and that the stream that runs down Greenwood does
flow year round.
There being no further questions or comments regarding this matter,
a motion was made by Jay Donnelly to continue the hearing until the
Commission's next meeting scheduled for April 7, 1998 so that the
Commission's Consultant can have the opportunity to review the most
recent delineation map, seconded by Jon Mazuy and approved
unanimously.
Continuation: 218 Hart Street
Christopher Welles
delineation determination/
Mike DeRosa of DeRosa Environmental addressed the Commission on
behalf of the applicant Christopher Welles, and stated that he was
not on the site walk, but understands that the Commission has
requested that some minor changes be made to the delineation line.
Mr. DeRosa stated that his client has no problem with moving the
lines, and that they would like to have the hearing be closed
subject to submission of a new map.
4
Jon Mazuy asked if the applicant is well aware of the changes. Mr.
DeRosa stated yes, and explained that they are seeking a Positive
Determination on the wetland lines subject to submittal of a new
map.
Chairman Lang asked if the area is covered by the River's Act. Mr.
DeRosa stated that he has observed the area two times last summer
and found it to be dry, but that he will inform the Commission at
the next meeting if it is covered by the River's Act.
Jay Donnelly asked how many trees are going to be removed. Mr.
DeRosa explained that they will know more about that with the
actual final plan, but stated that they are trying not to take out
any trees, that they would like to maintain all the major trees.
Jay Donnelly asked if they would be retaining an engineer to do the
design of the out-flow of the weir, and if they are proposing to
keep the elevation of the weir the same. Mr. DeRosa stated that
they intend to keep the same elevation, and that they are planning
to dredge out the pond.
Chairman Lang asked if any one from the public wished to speak.
Rene Mary of 274 Hale Street stated that she has 3 topo maps and
that they all show the stream tobe a perennial stream, she further
stated that she lives by Thissal Brook and that that brook is dry,
ponded up and flowing into the ocean, and that the Commission
should pay special attention to that stream.
Debra Borshire of 143 Hart Street stated that she is concerned
about when they dredge the pond, and that she would like to see
Chubbs Brook protected. Mr. DeRosa explained that they will have
the design work before the Conservation Commission by this Spring,
that they intend to use the dredge out material for the planting
shelves, and that the clean sand that is taken out will be taken to
an appropriate place.
Ms. Borshire noted that the area is on a septic system and asked
where the septic system is in comparison to the brook. Mr. DeRosa
explained that the brook is in front of the septic system and that
there is an allowable distance between them.
Richard Baker of 643 Hale Street stated that there is a company in
Danvers that has 15 years of daily data on record that would be
useful to the applicant with respect to precipitation. Mr. DeRosa
stated that he would check into that.
Kevin Collins of 57 Hathaway Avenue stated that he is a
meteorologist and that he has local data on precipitation that he
would be willing to give to Mr. DeRosa and his client.
John Murray of Ward 6 addressed the Commission and stated that he
wanted to make the Conservation Commission aware of the fact that
the City Council recently approved a drainage study for the
Lawrence and Chubbs Brook areas, and that the study will be
underway very quickly.
Chairman Lang stated that this pond may help the flooding problem
around Chubbs Brook to some degree°
· Mr. Baker stated that the pond will get to its maximum capacity
quickly because there is no storage. Mr. DeRosa stated that they
are trying to keep the inverts the same, and that they plan on
addressing that matter with the Notice of Intent.
Rene Mary stated that it is her observation that there is a lot of
storage space, and that she doesn't think storage is the problem.
There being no further questions or comments regarding this matter,
a motion was made by Jon Mazuy to issue a Positive Determination,
based on the submittal of an updated report of the flags, according
to witnesses testimony, seconded by Tony Paluzzi and approved
unanimously.
New: 57 Hathaway Avenue - deck construction/Kevin Collins
Kevin Collins addressed the Commission and explained a plan to
construct a deck in the back of his house. Mr. Collins stated that
there is a wetland behind the property, and that he supplied a plot
plan that reflects the delineation of deck to the wetlands behind
the property.
Chairman Lang asked if any of the members have been out to this
site.
Tony Paluzzi stated that he visited the site and observed the
wetlands in the back of the house, that the property is flat, that
a silt fence was up, and that there was material stockpiled on the
site.
Chairman Lang asked if they plan to do any excavation. Mr. Collins
explained that they would be excavating only for the footings for
the sono tubes. Mr. Collins also stated that they would like the
silt fencing to be up on a temporary basis.
Chairman Lang asked what they plan on doing with the extra soils
from the footings. Mr. Collins' developer Mr. Dennis L'Italien
stated that the soil will be taken off the property by a truck, and
explained that they are looking for an approval to only use silt
fencing, and not hay bales because the work will only take one day
and he can't see ruining the lawn.
Chairman Lang asked if any one from the public wished to speak.

JohnDick of Hancock Environmental addressed the Commission, handed
out a map to the members, and explained a proposal to build a
stairway, foundation, balustrade wall, and gazebo. Mr. Dick stated
that minor grading will need to take place and that the only change
in grade is where the proposed gazebo is going.
Mr. Dick explained that most of the material on the site is back
waste that came from the pool, that they intend to use the side
cast material for the proposed construction of the wall, and that
the wall will have a sono tube foundation with reinforced footings.
Mr. Dick explained that they plan to cast in place posts 4' above
grade and that the sono tubes will go underneath the ground. Mr.
Dick stated that they intend to use a bob cat to do the work on the
slope, and if the equipment can't move a rock then the sono tube
will be poured on the rock. Mr. Dick stated that they don't want
to remove boulders and destabilize the slope.
Tony Paluzzi stated that the Commission's concern was the face of
the slope, that he saw large boulders, and that he was concerned
that they wouldn't rip apart the slope to place the sono tubes in.
jon Mazuy asked what size boulder can't be removed. Mr. Dick
stated anything much bigger than a basketball, and explained that
the bob cat is equivalent to hand digging.

Continued: 63 Lothrop Street - boathouse construction/Perrott
John Dick of Hancock Environmental addressed the Commission and
explained a proposal to construct a boathouse. Mr. Dick explained
that they are proposing footings for a davit in the rear of the
boathouse, that there is a coastal bank that was contributing
sediment to the wall, that the wall is in good shape in the course
of repairing the wall, and that a lawn is proposed.
Mr. Dick explained that there is considerable erosion to the
steeper part of the slope due to the fact that no haybales were
placed at the top of the slope, so water ran down and caused
erosion, but noted that the applicant did recently install a
haybale barrier at the end of the slope with a gap. Mr. Dick
stated that the applicant has extended the haybale barrier across
the bottom of the slope/road and added some to the top of the
slope. Mr. Dick explained that the slope is vegetated all the way
across and that the applicant wants to maintain the stone bed to
the toe and to the steeper part of the slope to get the lawn
started.
Mr. Dick stated that they are seeking a request for a modification
to the original Notice of Intent.
Jay Doanelly asked what the elevation of the boathouse will be.
Mr. Dick stated that it will be within the flood hazard zone and
that the floor will be below 14' with a sono tube structure. Mr.
Dick explained that the boathouse will be afloat and tied down to
the footings so it won't float away.
Jay Donnelly asked what the elevation of the floor will be. Mr.
Dick stated approximately 11½-12' above storm water elevation.
Jay Donnelly asked if water will flow underneath the boathouse.
Mr. Dick responded yes.
Tony Paluzzi asked what the size of the concrete footings for the
davit will be. Mr. Dick stated that they are proposing a 2' by 2'
pad on sono tubes.
Chairman Lang asked how often the waves will top the wall.
Dick stated with every high moon.
Mr.
Dr. Johnson asked if a Chapter 91 License will have to be obtained.
Mr. Dick responded no, and explained that the boathouse will be
above mean high water.
Dr. Johnson asked if the applicant will need an amnesty license.
Mr. Dick responded no.

Dr. Johnson asked if the owner will object to public passing. Mr.
Dick stated that he wasn't sure, but that he didn't think that the
owner would voluntarily suggest it.
Chairman Lang asked if any one from the public wished to speak.
Virginia McGlynn asked if the owner would be going through the
Harbor Management. Mr. Dick stated no, that the boathouse will not
be above mean high water.
Ms. McGlynn asked if the owner has researched the wall, and
questioned whether or not it is a public way. Mr. Dick stated that
there is nothing in the deed.
Ms. McGlynn stated that the owner should present this proposal to
the Harbor Management.
Jay Donnelly stated that he has
construction along the visa property.
are in agreement.
a problem with allowing
Chairman Lang and Jon Mazuy
Jay Donnelly questioned why they can't built above/beyond the visa.
Mr. Dick stated that he will ask the owner to consider leaving it
open to meet management criteria, but that they will come up with
an argument with respect to a guarantee that it doesn't become a
houseboat.
Jay Donnelly suggested that the Commission keep the Enforcement
Order in place.
There being no further questions or comments regarding this matter,
a motion was made by Dr. Johnson to continue the hearing, seconded
by Tony Paluzzi and approved unanimously.
New: Shortmeadow Road - cluster well installation/IT Corporation
New: Columbia Road - cone Penetrometer point installation/IT Corp.
New: Fitzgerald Way - cone penetrometer point installation/IT Corp.
Val Miller of Varian addressed the Commission on behalf of IT
Corporation and explained a proposal for the installation of
several wells on Shortmeadow Road, Columbia Road and Fitzgerald Way
for the investigation of groundwater compounds (TCE/PCE).
Ms. Miller explained that IT Corporation is at their assessment
phase, and that they are looking to install added wells to gather
groundwater samples, and to study groundwater flow patterns.
Shortmeadow Road
Ms. Miller explained the procedure for the installation of the
wells, and noted that the first installation will be a cluster
well, three wells within one location, that the wells will be 2",
9
and 15' below grade, then they will take samples; move over, and
install the second well. Ms. Miller explained that they will hit
bedrock with the installation of the second well, but that they
plan to use a screen, and get a groundwater sample; then move over
and install the 3rd well. Ms. Miller explained that they will have
to drill into the bedrock for this well, then get a sample.
Ms. Miller stated that the Shortmeadow Road well has been
installed, that it is a low wetland area, a location where
compounds are being discharged to, and that IT Corporation wants to
investigate that.
Ms. Miller stated that Arthur Boris has no problem with them
drilling on this property.
Dr. Johnson asked why don't they just take water from the pond, and
asked where the results go. Ms. Miller stated that they will do
that too, but that the compounds are found in deeper zones, and
that the results will go to the Conservation Commission, the Board
of Health, the library, and DEP (Woburn Office) within 30 days.
Chairman Lang asked why they are planning to install three wells in
the Shortmeadow Road area. Ms. Miller explained that low
concentrations where picked up on Sohier Road.
Chairman Lang asked if any one from the public wished to speak.
Joan Murphy of Longmeadow Road asked where on Shortmeadow will
these wells be installed. Ms. Miller explained that they will be
situated on Shortmeadow Road on private property.
Columbia Road/Fitzqerald Way
Val Miller explained that in this location there is a low lying
wetland stream that cuts through the City that is acting as a
discharge location, and that they intend to take a sample from a
discrete location (from a shallow zone), drill to a depth, and see
what is going on. Ms. Miller stated that they are concerned with
who else is picking up these contaminants, and that this is part of
an overall program to investigate the site.
Joan Murphy stated that there is a lot of water in this area. Ms.
Miller stated that they won't be moving any dirt, that they will
previously investigate the area, and that they will be extending
the results in the mail.
Ms. Murphy asked if there was a notice in the paper for a site
classification (did apply/not apply). Ms. Miller stated that the
site was a waiver site, that a Tier 1 application is on record at
the library, and that if the State wants to get more involved they
ca/1.

Chairman Lang asked if there will be a public hearing with respect
to the permits. Ms. Miller stated at some point in time.
Rene Mary asked what the time table for this project is. Ms.
Miller stated mid April.
Joan Murphy asked if this business could be getting in Norwood
Pond. Chairman Lang stated possibly, but that it is
topographically to low.
Chairman Lang stated that the Varian flow goes toward the Victory-
Rocci Post and asked if a cluster well would be installed there.
Ms. Miller responded yes, Cluster Well 1.
Jay Donnelly asked if the wells will impact the wetlands. Ms.
Miller stated no, that they will put hay bales around the wetlands
so that there will be on impact at all, unless really wet.
Jay Donnelly asked if any of the equipment will go in the wetlands.
Ms. Miller stated no, that there is very limited work involved.
Tony Paluzzi asked where the soils from the wells will go. Ms.
Miller explained that they intend to drum it and have it hauled off
site.
Tony Paluzzi asked if this would be done daily. Ms. Miller
responded yes, or that it might stay on the truck over night.
Jon Mazuy asked if the drums will be covered. Ms. Miller explained
that the covers will be screwed on.
Ms. Miller read a letter submitted to the Conservation Commission.

New Enqland Power Company modification request
Joe Callihan of New England Power Company addressed the Commission,
reviewed the history of the site, and explained a request for a
modification to the Order of Conditions in order to continue with
their site investigation. Mr. Callihan stated that the Phase I
work has been done, but that along the way they found contaminants,
and stated that they are seeking to add 15 additional borings,
finish up the environmental investigation to understand the site,
11
submit the report, and move forward with the next phase for the
site. Mr. Callihan noted that they will be doing Phase II sampling
under the existing Order of Conditions, and that they would be
keeping the same techniques.
Mr. Callihan stated that the new sample locations are highlighted
in yellow on the new plan, that the area is heavily developed, and

placed around the test pits the last time. Mr. Callihan stated
that it didn't state it in this Phase, but that they will.
Chairman Lang asked what type of drilling would take place. Mr.
Callihan explained that N.E. Power Company is not proposing to use
anything that is visibly contaminated when testing, and that they
intend to have excess drums available.
Tony Paluzzi asked if the new test holes would be closer to the
water than before. Mr. Callihan stated that two would be
relatively close in order to make sure of the extent of the
contamination, and that N.E. Power Company is hoping to do this
procedure in mid April.
Chairman Lang stated that he wants hay bales around the test pits.
Mr. Callihan stated that they will have hay bales around everything
that is within 100' of the buffer zone.
